Bella's Bagels is turning its popular Colorado Springs bagel shop into a full-fledged restaurant, bar and deli, with plans for a patio, a marketplace and even an outdoor amphitheater at a new location near South Nevada Avenue. The business says the project is under construction and is expected to open in early 2027.
According to the business's own website, the new spot is described simply as “the new Bistro down south,” with an opening timeline of early 2027 near Creekwalk, close to South Nevada, per getbellasbagels.com. Separately, as reported by WhatNow, the project is planned for the Creekwalk Shopping Center at 100 E. Cheyenne Road and is owned by Jason Stele. WhatNow reports the location is under construction, per the business's website, and will offer views of Cheyenne Mountain and a flowing creek behind the property.
Stele told WhatNow that the bistro will build on what customers already enjoy about Bella's Bagels while introducing something new, describing the concept as a gathering place for families and friends. Per the outlet's reporting, the plan calls for a full-service restaurant, bar and traditional East Coast deli in one space, along with a marketplace.
Brunch, Supper and East Coast Comfort Food
WhatNow's report lays out a detailed daily schedule for the new location: daily brunch from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. featuring breakfast and lunch inspired by traditional New Jersey and New York delis, followed by dinner from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. built around a Sunday supper-style menu of East Coast deli comfort food. The outlet also reports the bar will serve handcrafted East Coast-inspired cocktails, beer and wine.
Outdoor space is a centerpiece of the plan, too. Per WhatNow, the development will include a large patio and an amphitheater, with outdoor concerts planned during the summer months once the location is open.
From a North-Side Bagel Shop to a Growing Local Brand
Bella's Bagels didn't start out as a sit-down restaurant. The shop opened in spring 2023 on the north end of Colorado Springs, near Powers Boulevard and Old Ranch Road, according to sidedishschniper.com. The original location sits at 3582 Blue Horizon View, Suite 148, as FOX21 reports.
The business already expanded once before, moving one storefront over in early 2025 to add a coffee bar, the same local food newsletter notes. Bella's Bagels has continued to expand, with a bigger footprint planned on the south side of town.
What's Still Unconfirmed
FOX21's coverage of the expansion describes the planned south-side spot as offering breakfast, lunch and dinner along with patio seating, aligning with the broader concept Bella's Bagels has outlined. Colorado's liquor licensing authority maintains an online, real-time search for approved licenses and publishes monthly license lists, according to the Colorado Department of Revenue Liquor Enforcement Division, though that resource does not by itself confirm the status of any application tied to the new bistro. For now, Bella's Bagels says the project is under construction as it works toward an opening date in early 2027.
